I installed the V1 springs on the front of my base M3 (non ZCP, non adaptive). Its been said the non-adaptive suspension is valved like SPORT for those of you with adaptive. I have the stock MP4S tires on 19"437 wheels and 12mm spacers all around. Tires are correctly inflated.

On smooth roads, the ride is great. less lift/roll through the turns, feels more planted. Dampening remains unchanged. I haven't had any scraping issues with getting up driveways or other inclines as the drop is pretty minimal.

On bumpy roads (I'm in Canada so we are dealing with all the potholes from the winter) its really shit to be quite honest. The reduced suspension travel means the shock bottoms out on bumps that it normally wouldn't be all that bad on. Its a very abrupt/jarring ride when you hit potholes - you hear and feel through the entire chassis. To be clear, its not a bouncy ride, just very unforgiving there is a sudden gradient change. I find myself now bracing for impact whenever I see potholes - kind of takes the fun out going for a ride.

I actually wasn't going to lower the car after doing extensive research last year. Everything I read (regardless of what setup you choose to go with) leads to a decrease in comfort. The Eibach V1 was going to be the "minimal impact" solution so I decided to try it out anyways. I'm probably going to bite the bullet and go back to the stock springs and not look at the front end of my car from the side anymore, LOL. I appreciate the car is a sports car but the stock ride quality is about as firm as I am willing to deal with for a daily.

Just installed Eibach V1 and absolutely love the drop and as you mentioned the ride quality is to me far superior than stock. Not as stiff but a much nicer ride. Drop is how it should have been from the factory. All of you guys that chimed in on the V1 were my inspiration to get them after much agonizing. Thank you all for your input. Very happy. I'll post up pictures soon.

Just installed the eibach v1 rear last week (looks much better since it leveled out)... the drive def feels softer in a good way. I feel like the sport mode feels like a notch between comfort and sport... the ZCP springs is def stiffer ride than eibach V1. Im not sure if I like the softer ride with the V1 though... I love the look, but I find in comfort is just to soft and prefer to drive around in sports mode. I guess comfort is now "wife mode" whereas, comfort was to jarring for her with ZCP. Will see how this plays out it the coming months.

Looks like a great drop! Time for some wheels now..

[mdlex389]

Does anyone have a long term review of the Eibach V1s? Does the ride comfort degrade over time?

So it seems V1's on non-comp pack cars ride very similar to OEM. Can anyone confirm if it rides slightly softer or slightly more firm than non-zcp OEM setup?

Glad I found this, I was thinking I was going to get the EMD springs and install only the fronts but I think that drop is a little over 1". It seems like people are happy with the euro eibachs on the front only giving just under a 1" drop,

[EricP3]

also going to link this thread as there is some good info here about the Eibach Euro springs as well.

for those of you that have installed the v2's, how many days did it take for your springs to settle all the way? I am on day 4 and have a 2 finger gap in the front on 666 wheels with stock tire size. should i expect it to settle a bit more?

Yep ordered V1s for my M4 from these guys in Germany... 4 business days to my door ! Did have to pay $25 import duty upon arrival but still overall cheap shipping.

Feels like that in my F83, the previous owner had these great springs installed. The car sits low,
These spring should be standard on M cars, the ride is much better compared to factory springs.

Side note, are you using spacers on your ride?

[TheMaster1971NL]

Just ordered these: V1's E10-20-031-09-22 together with 4 x 10mm spacers.

Anyone know where v1 is made at? I just got
mine and just say made by eibach and they shipped from Germany but where are they made? I know they have a building here in SoCal.
